Goods that reflect what’s going on in the museum (except you might actually be able to afford something here). Look for pleasing kitchen and tableware, jewelry by design firms, cool art books, and a selection of Muji accessories. Sometimes the gift shop is more fun than the museum itself. (Maybe why that’s why there’s a second location in Soho.)
Bright, airy, and obsessively neat curation of titles that feels like a private library, with authors dropping in weekly to host.

The 2,000-square-foot space has everything literati (and wannabes) could want, including a huge kids’ section, French and Spanish editions, graphic novels galore, and tons of NY-centric titles.
